Lookingout, they saw a group approaching, under a banner they recognised, amongthem a very gentle English knight, who had but one eye, called MessireThomas de Hollande. To him and his companions they surrendered. Then wasSir Thomas glad for two reasons, one that they were such good prisoners,for whom he could have 100,000 gold pieces, and the other that he hadsaved their lives, for they were in great danger between the French andEnglish. On entering the city the English knights did all they could toprotect the women of the town and the nuns. Thomas was one of thecommissioners to take the surrender.

Douglas Richardson of SGM confirms thisidentity as daughter of William de Fiennes, Knt, seigneur of Fiennes andTingry (Pas-de-Calais/Artois, France), and in England, of Chokes andGayton, Northants and Wendover Bucks.

BARONY OF WAKE (I)

JOHN WAKE, son and heir, by 2nd wife, was born probably late in 1268. Hewas granted protection, 15 November 1288, to go to Gascony, was summonedfor service in Gascony, 1294, in company with the King's brother Edmund,and was summoned for service across the seas in 1297. In March 1293/4 hewas going to Scotland, where he was in 1296 and 1298, and he was summonedagainst the Scots, 1297-1300. He was summoned to Parliament from 24 June1295 to 29 December 1299, by writs directed Johanni Wake, whereby he isheld to have become LORD WAKE. He was Captain, with others, of the Marchof Scotland in Cumberland and Westmorland, 18 October 1297. He fought inthe 2nd line under the Bishop of Durham at the battle of Falkirk, 22 July1298; was a Commissioner to deal with Scottish prisoners, July 1299; andwas called to meet the Barons of the Exchequer at York, January1299/1300. He married, before 24 September 1291, Joan de Fiennes. He diedshortly before 10 April 1300. She died shortly before 26 October 1309.[Complete Peerage XII/2:301-2, XIV:623, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

Note: Apparently the preponderance of evidence identifies John's wife asJoan de Fiennes, daughter of William de Fiennes by Blanche de Brienne (asstated in AR line 236-10). This is based on an article in 'GenealogistMagazine' by John Carmi Parsons entitled 'Court and Household of Eleanorof Castile in 1290', (1977): 41, 44-46. Originally CP XII/2 named hiswife Joan with a note (c) that stated she may be a daughter of JohnFitzBernard or of William de Fenes, but this was corrected by volume XIVin favor of Joan de Fiennes as it now reads in the above text. . . .ALTHOUGH to confuse matters even more: Faris' Plantagenet Ancestry, 2ndEdition, page 185, indicates that Margaret Wake's parents were 'JohnWake, 1st Lord Wake, by Joan, daughter of John Fitz Bernard, Knt., ofKingsdown, Kent.' I have been told that the 1st edition of the book hadJoan de Fiennes as the mother, but the 2nd edition, published in 1999,appears to take a step backwards. Did they find out something new?

     Joan FitzBernard was born in 1273 at Of Blisworth, Blisworth, Northamptonshire, England.⁵ She was born in 1273 at Kingsdown, Kent, England. She married John 1st Baron Wake , Sir before 24 September 1291; Incorrectly Identified Wife.^1,3,4 Joan FitzBernard married John Lord Wake before 24 September 1291 at Of, Kingsdown, Kent, England.⁶ Joan FitzBernard died before 26 October 1309 at Blisworth, Northamptonshire, England.¹ She died on 26 October 1309.⁵
     She Joan (died just prior to 26 Oct 1309), allegedly daughter of Sir JohnFitzBernard, of Kingsdown, Kent or William de Fenes, a Spanish Count, andpossibly a relative of Edward I. [Burke's Peerage]

Joan, perhaps dau of Sir John Fitz Barnard of Kingsdown, Kent. [MagnaCharta Sureties]

Note: Although I am keeping Joan FitzBernard as an alternate wife forhistorical reasons (based on the two above references), apparently thepreponderance of evidence identifies John's wife as Joan de Fiennes,daughter of William de Fiennes by Blanche de Brienne (as stated in ARline 236-10). Therefore Joan FitzBernard PROBABLY NEVER EXISTED. Thisis based on an article in 'Genealogist Magazine' by John Carmi Parsonsentitled 'Court and Household of Eleanor of Castile in 1290', (1977): 41,44-46. Originally CP XII/2 named his wife Joan with a note (c) thatstated she may be a daughter of John FitzBernard or of William de Fenes,but this was corrected by volume XIV in favor of Joan de Fiennes as itnow reads.

Below is a post to SGM by Douglas Richardson (sent to me in an e-mail byDouglas) which outlines the evidence for Joan de Fiennes:

Dear Newsgroup ~

In 1977, the historian, John Carmi Parsons, identified Joan, wife of JohnWake, 1st Lord Wake (died 1300) as the daughter of William de Fiennes,Knt., seigneur of Fiennes and Tingry (Pas-de-Calais), and, in England, ofChokes and Gayton, co. Northampton, Wendover, co. Buckingham, etc., byBlanche, daughter and heiress of Jean de Brienne [see J.C. Parsons, Courtand Household of Eleanor of Castile in 1290 (1977): 41, 44–46]. Thisparentage would make Joan a near kinswoman of King Edward II. Amongother evidence, Parsons noted that Joan was styled 'cousin' by Edward IIwhen he was still Prince of Wales [see H. Johnstone, Letters of EdwardPrince of Wales 1304–1305 (1931): 13].

For additional evidence that Joan, wife of John Wake, was truly aFiennes, it may be noted that Joan Wake's great-grandson, King Richard IIof England, referred to many descendants of Joan's sister, Margaret deFiennes, wife of Edmund de Mortimer, as his kinsfolk, among them beingThomas Beauchamp, William Beauchamp, Joan Burghersh, Elizabeth Burghersh,Edward Cherleton, and Thomas Clifford. While King Richard II shares acommon descent from King Edward I with Edward Cherleton, this is not thecase with the other individuals. Unless Joan Wake was a Fiennes, itwould be difficult to explain the kinship between King Richard II and theother individuals, especially the Beauchamp and Burghersh relations.These multiple references to Fiennes descended people as his kinsfolkprovides ample supporting evidence that King Richard II'sgreat-grandmother was a Fiennes. This is a good example of how the studyof references to the king's kinsmen can resolve longstanding genealogicalproblems.

     Edward 'The Black' Plantagenet Prince of England was born on 15 June 1330 at Woodstock Palace, Oxfordshire, England.² He was the son of Edward III Plantagenet King of England and Philippa d' Avesnes , of Hainault. Edward 'The Black' Plantagenet Prince of England married Joan Plantagenet , 'The Fair Maid of Kent', daughter of Edmund of Woodstock Plantagenet 1st Earl of Kent and Margaret of Liddell Wake Baroness Wake, on 10 October 1361.¹ Edward 'The Black' Plantagenet Prince of England died on 8 June 1376 at Westminster, Middlesex, England, at age 45.²
     Edward 'The Black' Plantagenet Prince of England was also known as 14th Earl of Chester , Edward of Woodstock.³ Edward 'The Black' Plantagenet Prince of England was also known as 1st Duke of Cornwall , Edward of Woodstock. He [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD, 1996, EDWARD, THE BLACK PRINCE]

Edward THE BLACK PRINCE, also called EDWARD OF WOODSTOCK, PRINCED'AQUITAINE, PRINCE OF WALES, DUKE OF CORNWALL, EARL OF CHESTER (b. June15, 1330, Woodstock, Oxfordshire, Eng.--d. June 8, 1376, Westminster,near London), son and heir apparent of Edward III of England and one ofthe outstanding commanders during the Hundred Years' War, winning hismajor victory at the Battle of Poitiers (1356). His sobriquet, said tohave come from his wearing black armour, has no contemporaryjustification and is found first in Richard Grafton's Chronicle ofEngland (1568).

Edward was created Earl of Chester (March 1333), Duke of Cornwall(February 1337)--the first appearance of this rank in England--and Princeof Wales (May 1343); he was Prince of Aquitaine from 1362 to 1372. Hisfirst campaign was served under his father in northern France (1346-47),and at the Battle of Crécy (Aug. 26, 1346) he won both his spurs and thefamous ostrich plumes and with them the mottoes used by himself andsubsequent princes of Wales, homout; ich dene ('Courage; I serve'; thewords are here spelled as Edward himself wrote them; later variantsinclude houmout and ich dien or ich diene). One of the original Knightsof the Garter, he was sent to France with independent command in 1355,winning his most famous victory over the French at Poitiers on Sept. 19,1356. The French king John II, brought captive to England, was treated bythe prince with a celebrated courtesy, but he was obligated to pay aransom of 3,000,000 gold crowns and to negotiate the treaties of Brétignyand Calais (1360) by which Aquitaine was ceded to the English.

Edward married his cousin Joan, the divorced and widowed Countess ofKent, in October 1361. He was created Prince of Aquitaine in July 1362and left England in 1363 to take up his duties. His powers and hisopportunities were great, but his rule was a failure, and he himself waslargely to blame. His court at Bordeaux, that of a foreign conqueror, wasextravagant; the 13 sénéchaussées into which the principality was dividedadministratively followed their earlier French pattern and allowed localFrench loyalties to subsist; his relations with the many bishops wereunfriendly, while the greater nobles, Arnaud-Amanieu, sire d'Albret,Gaston II, Count de Foix, and Jean I, Count d'Armagnac, were hostile. Hesummoned several estates, or parliaments, but always to levy taxes. In1367 he undertook to restore Peter the Cruel of Castile to his throne,and though he won a classic victory at Nájera on April 3, 1367, thecampaign ruined his health, his finances, and any prospect of sound rulein Aquitaine, where, in 1368, the nobles and prelates appealed againsthim to Charles V of France as suzerain. Edward's reply to the Frenchking's citation to answer the appellants before the parlement of Paris inMay 1369 is well known--he would appear with 60,000 men at his back. Hehad, however, alienated the towns and peasantry as well as the nobles;and by March 1369 more than 900 towns, castles, and strong places haddeclared against him. Relying on mercenaries whom he could not afford topay, he was powerless to quell the revolt, and the terrible sack ofLimoges (October 1370) merely redounded to his discredit. He returned toEngland a sick and broken man in January 1371 and formally surrenderedhis principality to his father in October 1372, alleging that therevenues of the country were insufficient to defray his expenses. He hadno successor as Prince of Aquitaine.

Edward's position in England, where, throughout his life, he was heirapparent, was that of a typical 14th-century magnate. The registers ofhis household from 1346 to 1348 and from 1351 to 1365 have survived andadd to what is known of him from the chroniclers and from his biographer,the herald of Sir John Chandos. In one important respect all of thesesources paint the same picture, that of a man constantly living beyondhis means. His generosity, however, extended to his tenants as well as tohis knightly companions, and faithful service was rewarded, as in 1356when the ferry of Saltash was granted to William Lenche, who had lost aneye at Poitiers.

The prince visited Chester in 1353 and again in 1358. Cheshire furnishedmany of his archers, who wore a rudimentary uniform of a short coat andhat of green and white cloth with the green on the right. Despite histitle, however, Edward did not visit Wales.

He appears to have shared the interests of his class--jousting, falconry,hunting, gaming. He was literate and conventionally pious, substantiallyendowing a religious house at Ashridge (1376). He had the customary finepresence of the Plantagenets and shared their love of jewels. The BlackPrince's ruby in the present imperial state crown may or may not havebeen given to him by King Peter of Castile after the Battle of Nájera,but he would certainly have prized it, as a connoisseur. Similar artisticinterest is shown in his seals, adorned with their ostrich feathers, andin the elegant gold coins that he issued as Prince of Aquitaine.

The last five years of the prince's life are obscure. Some contemporariessuggest that he supported the Commons when political discontentculminated in the Good Parliament of April 1376; but he knew he wasdying, and he was probably seeking the best means to ensure thesuccession of his second--but only surviving--son, Richard of Bordeaux(afterward Richard II). Edward was buried at Canterbury, where his tombwith his accoutrements, restored and renovated, still stands.

BARONY OF STRANGE OF KNOKYN (II)

JOHN (LESTRANGE) VI, LORD STRANGE, son and heir, aged 27 at his father'sdeath. On 6 October 1309 he had done homage and was to have his father'slands. In 1309 and 1310 he was summoned to Parliament as John Lestrangeof Knokyn. He married Iseult. He died on or before 6 February 1310/1. Hiswidow was living 18 May 1324. [Complete Peerage XII/1:353, (transcribedby Dave Utzinger)]

     Maud de Walton married an unknown person.⁴ She was born circa 1277 at Walton Deyville, Warwickshire, England. She married John 1st Baron le Strange , of Knockyn, Sir before 1297.^1,3 Maud de Walton married an unknown person before 28 March 1310.² She died before July 1325 at Knockin, Oswestry, Shropshire, England.^2,3
     She Obviously there is a great deal of confusion over everything about Maud,but her first name--and that one of her husbands, at least, was John leStrange. Following are what some respected sources state:

Ancestral Roots (249-32) merely states 'Maud de Walton' (no parents,which at least is the simplest way of dealing with Maud). They cite assource '(CP [Complete Peerage] XII (1) 353, 354; C. L'Estrange Ewen,'Observations on the LeStranges' (1946), chart opp. p. 1; 'LeStrangeRecords', 184-254).'

Magna Charta Sureties (137-4) states 'Maud, perhaps, a de Deyville. (CPXII (1), 352-353; 'Misc. Gen. et Her.', 5th Series, IX 254-8 says she wasdaughter of Sir John de Wauton of Wauton Deyville. See also 'Pedigree andProgress' (Wagner) ped. 57; 'Le Strange Records, 184-253).'

Burke's Peerage states 'Maud, daughter and heiress either of Roger deDeyville, of Walton Deyville, Warwicks, or of Ebles de Montibus, ofKetton, Rutland, leaving (presumably by his 2nd wife, since her putativepaternity would account for the unusual forename Ebles being given to the2nd son).'

He [Thomas Hastang] married, 1stly, before 28 March 1310, Maud, widow ofJohn LE STRANGE, of Knokyn, 1st LORD STRANGE, before that of John deStradling or Strattelinges, daughter and heir of John de Walton, ofLittle Wellesbourne and Walton Deyville, co. Warwick, by his wife Isabel.In 1315 Thomas Hastang and Maud his wife, previously wife of Sir John leStrange, of Knokyn, petitioned concerning the marriage of the son andheir of Madog ap Gruffyd Maelor, which John and Maud had bought for theirdaughter Elizabeth. She died in or before July 1325, by which time he hadmarried, 2ndly, Elizabeth. [Complete Peerage VI:341-3 as corrected byXIV:375, (transcribed by Dave Utzinger)]

He [John Lestrange] married 2ndly Maud, widow of John DE STRADLING, orSTRUTTELINGAS [died shortly before February 1282/3], daughter and heir ofJohn DE WALTON, of Little Wellesborne and Walton Deyville, co. Warwick[died before 28 December 1277], by his wife Isabel. He died on or before8 August 1309. His widow married between 30 October 1309 and 28 November1310, as his 1st wife, Thomas DE HASTANG, of Chebsey, co. Stafford, whodied in or before 1348. She died before July 1325. [Complete PeerageXII/1:352-3, XIV:596]

------------------------------------------------------

Note: It looks like we have 5 choices for Maud: de Walton or Wauton, deDeyville, or de Montibus. I am definitely tilting toward 'Maud deWalton' because of CP & AR. The above citation by CP has been correctedby volume 14. The original had her as 'de Deiville', which would haveadded a 6th choice. Except for the possibility mentioned by BP of Maudbeing 'de Montibus', they are all different names for the same person.The original CP XII/1:352 note (l) (which was deleted by CP XIV:596)explains some of confusion over the different names: 'Dugdale calls herdaughter and heir of Roger de Deyville; and see Cal. Inq.p.m. where JohnLestrange is returned as having held Walton Deyville, co. Warwick, as ofthe inheritance of Maud his wife, of the Earl of Warwick by knightservice. In 1241-42 the manor had been held of the same lord by Robertde Deyville. Blore, however, says that John's wife was Maud, daughterand heir of Ebles de Montibus of Ketton, co. Rutland; and in Cal Inq.p.m.a manor in Ketton is described in 1322 as held of John Lestrange ofDeyville, kinsman and heir of Ebles de Montibus. Possibly Maud wasdaughter of Ebles by the heiress of Deyville; which would account for theunusual name of Ebles given to John's 2nd son.'

------------------------------------------------------

I found the following at the Stradling family website'www.stradling.org.uk/docs/Oth_recs.htm', which touches on the matterbecause Maud de Wauton married John de Stradling as her first husband.The website is quoting material from 'VCH - Warwick extract':

Victoria County History of Warwickshire.

A) vol 3, page 131
'Certain lands in Losley [Loxley, of Robin Hood fame] were sold with themanor of Walton Mauduit by the Earl of Warwick to Simon de Wauton, Bishopof Norwich (1258-66). The bishop conveyed them to John de Wauton, who wasprobably his great-nephew. Subsequently John de Wauton received fromWalter Giffard, Archbishop of York (1266-79), a grant of the two Waltonmanors and all his land in Loxley; this was possibly the carucate and100s. in rents which Henry le Foun and Isabel his wife quitclaimed to thearchbishop in 1278. The archbishop was perhaps acting as trustee for Johnde Wauton whose daughter and heir Maud, was in 1279 a ward of GodfreyGiffard, Bishop of Worcester, Walter's younger brother. Maud married,first John de Stradling by whom she had no issue, and secondly John leStrange. In 1294 it was said that John de Wauton had done homage for hisland in Loxley to the Prior of Kenilworth and that John de Stradling hadoffered to do so, but that, as he had had no issue by his wife, the priorwas unwilling to receive it.'

B) Vol 5, page145,
'The history of the portion of Wellesbourne north and east of the DeneBrook is obscure. Dugdale's assertion that it was granted by one of theancient Earls of Warwick' to a member of the Hastang family is based onlyon the fact that in 1279 a very small estate, half a virgate, in LittleWellesbourne was held by Godfrey Giffard, Bishop of Worcester, of WilliamPacy, who held of Robert Hastang and he of the earl; if there was anysuch mesne lordship it has left no trace. In January 1246 Mr. Simon deWauton (or Walton) received a grant of a weekly market on Wednesday and afair on the eve and day of SS. Peter and Paul at his manor of LITTLEWELLESBOURNE. This Mr. Simon, who bought property in Walton Deyville,became Bishop of Norwich in 1258 and died in 1265. His successor Sir Johnde Wauton died in or shortly before 1277, leaving a widow Isabel, whomarried Henry le Foun, and a young daughter Maud. She married Sir John deStrattelinges, or Stradling, and they had a regrant of the market andFair at Little Wellesboume in 1290. Sir John was dead by February 1293and Maud married John Lestrange of Knockin, who died in 1309, leaving ason John. As her third husband she married Thomas Hastang, who wasreturned in 1316 as holding Walton with the hamlet of Wellesbourne, whichfrom this time onwards becomes known as WELLESBOURNE HASTANG, or moreoften HASTINGS, or WELLESBOURNE LESTRANGE, and descends with the manorsof Walton.

In 1086 the Count of Meulan held two estates of WALTON. One of these wasrated at 5 hides and had been held by Saxi; the other, formerly held byGida and Saied, was of 10 hides. Both came to the Earls of Warwick and in1166 Earl William, in the return of his fees, notes that Walton used torender the service of one knight's fee but was then in demesne and heldby his mother, the Countess Gundred, in dower. The overlordship continuedattached to the earldom and is mentioned as late as 1639.

In the time of Henry I one part of Walton seems to have been held byTheodoric, or Tierry, and the other by Spilebert. When the family ofDeyville, from whom the manor of WALTON DEYVILLE acquired its name,became enfeoffed here is uncertain, but Walter Deyville gave the tithe ofhis mill at Walton to the nuns of Pinley, probably about 1230. RobertDeyville was holding a knight's fee here from the Earl of Warwick in 1242and Walter was granted free warren in his manor of Walton in 1252. Hissuccessor, Roger Deyville, became heavily indebted to the Jews and soldthe manor to Simon de Wauton, who granted it to his son John. This Simonmay have been identical with the Mr. Simon who held the manor ofWelles-bourne Hastings (see above) and who in 1240 bought from WilliamMauduit and Alice his wife 6 acres in Walton called Litlemede lyingbeside the Portwey. Mr. Simon was elderly when he became bishop and maywell have been married when young. John de Wauton died in 1277, and hiswidow Isabel married Henry le Foun. John's heir, his daughter Maud, was achild, and in 1278 Henry and Isabel conveyed the manors of Walton andother lands to Walter Giffard, Archbishop of York. On the death of Walterin the following year these estates passed to his brother GodfreyGiffard, Bishop of Worcester, who in 1281 conveyed them to Robert Burnel,Bishop of Bath and Wells, for life, with remainder to Maud, whom heundertook to marry to one of the elder sons of either his brother HughBurnel or of Sir Robert de Escales. As already mentioned, however, Maudmarried first Sir John de Strattelinges and secondly John Lestrange ofKnockin, and thirdly Thomas Hastang.' Maud de Walton was also known as Maud de Wauton.⁵ Maud de Walton was also known as Maud de Deyville.⁶ Maud de Walton was also known as Maud de Montibus.⁶

Following is a post to SGM, 30 Dec 2001, by Douglas Richardson, with apossible ancestry for Hawise. Later on he speculated that since Geoffreyde Neville supposedly died without issue, that maybe Hawise was thedaughter of an unknown 2nd marriage of Hawise de Montagu.

Dear Newsgroup ~

Warin de Lisle, of Kingston Lisle (in Sparsholt), Berkshire (died 1322)married before 1304 Alice, daughter of Henry Teyes, Lord Teyes, ofAlverton, Cornwall, and Chilton Foliat, Wiltshire, by his wife, Hawise.

Complete Peerage sub Lisle (vol. 8, pg. 49) states that in 1334, Alice,widow of Warin de Lisle, had leave to transfer the bodies of her latehusband and that of her brother, Henry Teyes, Lord Teyes, to Chilton,'where her ancestors were buried and where chantries were founded.' Itappears she was supported in her petition to have remove the bodies byher kinsman, William de Montagu, Earl of Salisbury, which fact isoverlooked by Complete Peerage. For the Earl's support of Alice deLisle, see Calendar of the Register of Simon de Montacute, Bishop ofWorcester, 1334-1337, published 1996, pp.xviii, xxvii.

Clearly the connection between Alice de Lisle and the Earl of Salisburymust have been close. However, to date, no one has identified theconnection between the two parties. A good bet, however, is that theconnection comes through Alice de Lisle's mother, Hawise (wife of HenryTeyes), born say 1265. Reviewing the Montagu family tree, it seems adistinct possibility that Hawise Teyes was the daughter of the Earl ofSalisbury's great aunt, Hawise de Montagu, who married Geoffrey deNeville, of Laceby, co. Lincoln. I say that because I have encountered arecord which shows that Henry Teyes and Ingram Folenfaunt, and theirwives, held property as co-parceners in Redbourne, Lincoln in 1285[Reference: Cal. IPM]. Redbourne is associated with a Neville family,although I am unclear if this is same family as the Neville family ofLaceby.

If Alice de Lisle's grandmother was Hawise de Montagu, this arrangementwould make Alice and her kinsman, the Earl of Salisbury, second cousins.If correct, then Alice de Lisle would share the Earl's descent from thebaronial Basset family of Buckinghamshire and from the Gay family ofWiltshire.

If anyone has any particulars on the Neville, Teyes, Lisle or Folenfauntfamilies that would shed some light on this matter, I would appreciateknowing about it. For the interest of the newsgroup, I have listed thecolonial immigrants below who descend from Alice (Teyes) de Lisle.

     He EARLDOM OF CHESTER (X, 1) 1264 to 1265

EARLDOM OF LEICESTER (VI, 2) 1239-1265

Simon de Montfort, younger brother of Amauri, being 3rd son of Simon, wasb. probably in 1208, and certainly not later than 1209. His quitclaim tohis brother Amauri of his inheritance in France was probably madeimmediately on his coming of age. In return he received, perhaps at thesame time, Amauri's letter to Henry III, dated Paris, Feb? 1228/9. Withthis letter Simon came to England, probably in the early spring of 1229,but returned without obtaining the favour he sought. Communications musthave been kept up, because on 6 Feb 1230 Henry III, by letters patent ofcurious form, acknowledged that, at the petition and demise of Amauri deMontfort, son and heir of Simon de Montfort, late Earl of Leicester, heis bound to restore to Simon, son of the elder Simon and brother ofAmauri, all the lands that Simon the father held in England of the Honourof Leicester, with the third penny of the county and the Stewardship, assoon as the said lands should be delivered out of the hand of the Earl ofChester. Meanwhile, on 22 July 1229, the two years' truce with Francehad expired. Troops were assembled at Portsmouth for a French expeditionin Oct 1229; but, the shipping provided being deficient, the enterprisehad to be postponed, and a muster for the same purpose was appointed atReading, 7 Apr 1230. To this muster Simon, now in possession of Henry'sattested promise, sent his knight to offer his sword to England. It wasaccepted by a letter dated at Reading, 8 Apr, in which Henry granted himan annuity of 400 marks until he received his inheritance, so that heshould serve England, and Simon presumably fought for the English onFrench soil during Henry's pitiable campaign in Brittany, May-Oct 1230.When Henry embarked (26 Oct) he left behind him the Earl Marshal, and (atthe castle of Saint-James de Beuvron on the Norman border) the Earl ofChester. Simon repaired to the Earl there, and induced him to make thesurrender of which Henry had made a condition. They returned together toEngland in Aug 1231, and on the 13th of that month Henry took Simon'shomage at Castle Maud, co. Radnor. During Aug and possibly afterreceiving news that the lands had been delivered to Simon, Amauri wroteagain to Henry III, asking him to put Simon in possession of all therights attached to the inheritance. At Queen Eleanor's Coronation, 20Jan 1235/6, Simon was appointed to act as High Steward, in spite of theopposition of the Earl of Norfolk. From now on Simon graduallyestablished himself in England. He was acting in the King's Council in1237, and had now so completely gained Henry's friendship that the lattergave him his sister Eleanor in marriage in Jan 1237/8. But it appears,not unnaturally, to have required Amauri's personal surrender to the Kingbefore Simon could be invested with the Earldom of Leicester, and thisbrilliant alliance, followed by the birth of a son in Nov, apparentlystirred Amauri to action on Simon's behalf, for he came to England earlynext year, and made the surrender at Westminster, 11 Apr 1239, that beingprobably the date of Simon's investiture as EARL OF LEICESTER. Simon wasgodfather in June to Henry's first son, Prince Edward, and in 1240 hewent on crusade to the Holy Land. In 1242 he took part in Henry'sunsuccessful expedition to Poitou, and in the battle of Saintes, 22July. He participated in state affairs in 1244, as one of the 12commissioners appointed to consider the King's demands for money. In May1248, he was appointed Viceregent in Gascony, with powers not of aLieutenant, but as of the King himself; on 20 Sep of that year he sealeda prolongation of the truce between England and France. In Aug 1254 hewas sent from Bordeaux to Scotland on a secret mission to the King. InMay and June of 1255 he was engaged with Peter of Savoy, negotiating arenewal of the truce with France. Early in 1257 the plenipotentiates totreat of peace with France were directed to take control with Simon deMontfort and Peter de Savoy; in June 1257 he was appointed jointcommissioner to deal with the Pope about the business of the Kingdom ofSicily, he and Peter de Savoy being the two plenipotentiaries. In May1258 he was join commissioner for a truce with France, and in Aug to makepeace between the warring parites in Scotland. May of 1259 saw himappointed commissioner under the treaty with France, and in July he wassent with Peter de Savoy with a verbal message to the French King. Duringthat year he was sworn of the King's Council; in Dec. the CountessEleanor, in Paris, in the presence of the Henry III and St. Louis, and ofher husband, who attested and confirmed her acts, renounced all herrights in the Duchy of Normandy, and ratified the peace concluded withFrance. At Henry's great feast on St. Edward's day 1260, the King'snephew, Henry, son of the Earl of Cornwall, was admitted to do the officeof Steward, as Simon's proxy. In Aug 1262 the Earl was jointcommissioner to treat with Llewelyn son of Griffith. His part in theopposition of the Barons to the King and the ensuing civil war is thenational history of those momentous years. After his victory at Lewes,when Henry III and Prince Edward were made prisoners (14 May 1264), Simoncarried on the government of the country under the King's name and seal,including the summoning of a parliament for the Octave of Hilary 1265.During this period he obtained grants of the earldom of Chester. Allthese his actes were annulled by Henry on his restoration to freedom bythe battle of Evesham, 4 Aug 1265, when Simon was slain, and all hishonours forfeited. He was buried by the monks at Evesham. His will wasmade 1 Jan 1259.

He m. 7 Jan 1237/8, privately, in the King's chapel in Westminster,Eleanor, 2nd daughter of King John, by Isabel, daughter and heir ofAimar, Count of Agouleme (a). She, who was b. 1215, had been betrothed,23 Apr 1224, to William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke. She d. 13 Apr 1275,in France, at Montargis, a cell of Fontrevault, to which she retiredafter the battle of Evesham. [Complete Peerage VII:543-7]

Such a vow did not,however, constitute a canonical impediment. Soon after he marriedEleanor, Simon de Montfort went to Rome, and obtained a papl absolutionin respect of this vow. . . By his wife Simon had issue: sons Henry,Simon, Guy, Amauri, and Richard, and a daughter Eleanor who m. Llewelynof Wales. Henry was slain with his father at Evesham; Simon arrived onthe field of battle only in time to see his father's head on a pike, andGuy was wounded and taken prisoner. He and Simon were forced to leavethe country, and went to Italy, where they served under Charles ofAnjou. In 1271 they murdered their cousin Henry, son of Richard, Earl ofCornwall, in a church at Viterbo. Simon died in the same year nearSiena, and Guy died in a Sicilian prison in 1287 or 1288. Amauri wasappointed canon and treasurer of York Minster in 1265. He was living Feb1300/1. In his will, made at Montargis in 1289, he styles himself papalchaplain, treasurer of St. Peter of York, canon of Rouen, Evreux, London,and Lincoln, rector of St. Wendron in the diocese of Exeter, byhereditary right Earl of Leicester and Palatine of Chester, Steward ofthe King of England. Of Richard nothing is known. Lipscomb prints anaccount identifying this Richard with Richard de Wellesburne, buried atHughenden; in forming an opinion of the statements there made, it shouldbe borne in mind that Wellesbourne was one of the Warwickshire manors ofthe other family of Montfort.

------------------------------

Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester (b. c. 1208, Montfort,Ile-de-France, Fr.--d. Aug. 4, 1265, Evesham, Worcestershire, Eng.),leader of the baronial revolt against King Henry III and ruler of Englandfor less than a year.

Simon de Montfort, wholly French by birth and education, was the son ofSimon de Montfort l'Amaury, leader of the crusade against the hereticalAlbigenses. On coming of age, he renounced to his eldest brother, Amaury,his claims on the family lands in return for the sole right to revive theMontfort claim to the English earldom of Leicester. This claim derivedfrom his mother sic. grandmother), Amicia, sister of Robert IV (died1204), the last Beaumont earl of Leicester, whose lands had been dividedbetween Amicia and her younger sister Margaret, countess of Winchester.King John had recognized Simon's father as earl (c. 1205) but haddeprived him as a French subject (1207), and the Montfort claim had thenlapsed.

Simon came to England in 1229 and, helped by his cousin Ranulf, earl ofChester, the tenant of the confiscated estates, obtained the honour ofLeicester and did homage to Henry III in 1231, though he was not formallystyled earl of Leicester until April 1239. He speedily became one ofHenry's favourites, receiving an annual fee of 500 marks to compensatefor the divided inheritance and exercising the hereditary stewardship atthe coronation of Queen Eleanor (Eleanor of Provence; 1236). Henryarranged for his sister Eleanor to marry Simon on Jan. 7, 1238, thusbreaking Eleanor's earlier vow of chastity and offending the Englishnoblemen, who were not consulted. Henry's brother, Richard, earl ofCornwall, led an angry baronial protest, and Henry, alarmed, turnedagainst Simon and Eleanor, driving them from England (August 1239). Simonwent on crusade (1240-42) with Richard, with whom he was now reconciled,and won great prestige among the lords of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem,who asked their absentee king, the emperor Frederick II, to appoint Simonas his viceroy there. Returning to England, Simon joined Henry'sdisastrous invasion of France (1242), winning distinction by coveringHenry's escape after his defeat at Saintes. Reconciled with Henry, andaccepting an unfavourable settlement of Countess Eleanor's dower claims,Simon now made Kenilworth Castle (a royal grant) his headquarters. Hecultivated the friendship of the radical reformer Robert Grosseteste,bishop of Lincoln, and took Robert's friend, the Oxford Franciscan Adamde Marisco, as spiritual director. Although regarded as a king's man,Simon was one of the committee of 12 appointed to handle the acute crisisof 1244 between Henry and his angry barons. He also took part in manyimportant embassies to the French, papal, and imperial courts, and as aresult he won many influential friends.

In 1248 Henry asked Simon to pacify the English-held Duchy of Gascony, insouthwestern France. Simon, eager to join Louis IX's crusade, acceptedreluctantly, stipulating for full powers as regent for seven years,without fear of recall and with full refund of expenses incurred.Treating the Gascon nobles as faithless rebels outside the law, heruthlessly crushed the revolt and restored order; the Gascons appealed toHenry, accusing Simon of illegal procedure and oppression and threateningto renew their revolt. The matter was complicated by Simon's personalcontest with Gaston de Béarn, the leading rebel. Henry, frightened,recalled Simon for trial on the rebels' charges; the English magnatesacquitted him (1252), and he returned to Gascony to suppress the renewedrevolt, but Henry now terminated his lieutenancy. Simon, accepting apartial financial settlement, withdrew to France, though Henry had toimplore his help in his own campaign against the rebels in 1253. Such wasSimon's international reputation that when Louis IX's mother, Blanche ofCastile, died (November 1252) while Louis was still on crusade, theFrench magnates invited Simon to succeed her as regent.

Henry's behaviour over Gascony, though not wholly unjustified, convincedSimon that Henry was unfit to rule, and the King's disastrousundertaking, at Pope Innocent IV's behest, to conquer Sicily for his sonEdmund, strengthened this conviction. Discussions with Grosseteste,Marisco, and other Franciscan intellectuals had fired Simon's mind withvisions of a new order in both church and state, and he joined the otherleading English barons in forcing upon Henry the revolutionary Provisionsof Oxford (June 1258). The reformers began well, but by October 1259divisions appeared between the conservative wing, led by Richard deClare, earl of Gloucester, that sought only to limit abuses of royalpower, and the radical element, led by Simon, that sought to bind theentire baronage to observe the reforms forced upon the King and hisofficers. Simon exacerbated the quarrel by his arrogant vehemence and puthimself in the wrong by attempting to use Henry's subordination to securesettlement of his own and his wife's justifiable personal claims onHenry. Henry, allying with the Gloucester faction, shattered baronialunity early in 1260, and Simon emerged leading the extremist defenders ofthe reforms. By October 1261 Henry had isolated Simon, who went abroad;but the King's annulment of the Provisions, after he had received papalabsolution from his oath to observe them, revived general disaffection(1262), and Simon returned (April 1263) to lead a rebellion that restoredthe Provisions (July 1263). But baronial unity had vanished, and, despitepassionate support from the lesser barons, the county knights, the men ofLondon and the Cinque Ports, and many clergy, Simon was forced to acceptarbitration by Louis IX (December 1263). By the Mise of Amiens (January1264) Louis totally annulled the Provisions and all consequent reforms:Simon rejected the award and after unsuccessfully attempting directnegotiations, defeated Henry at Lewes (May 14, 1264), capturing Henry andhis son, the lord Edward.

Simon then governed England by military dictatorship, strivingunsuccessfully for a legal basis of consent, both by negotiations withHenry's supporters and by calling representatives of both shires andboroughs to Parliament (1265) to counterbalance his lack of baronialsupport. But his monopolization of power alienated his chief ally, theyoung Gilbert de Clare, earl of Gloucester, who joined the royalistMarcher lords and secured Lord Edward's escape at Hereford (May 1265). Byrapid and skillful maneuvering, Edward isolated Simon behind the Severn,destroyed at Kenilworth (August 1) the large army coming to his rescue,and trapped Simon's little force at Evesham (Aug. 4, 1265), slaying Simonand most of his followers.

The most outstanding English personality of his day, Simon is rememberedas an early[ advocate of a limited monarchy, ruling through electedcouncillors and responsible officials, and of parliaments includingcounty knights and burgesses as well as the great nobles.
